Electrochemical Detection of Ribonucleotides At A Carbon Paste Electrode Containing Cobalt Phthalocyanine

Abstract

Chemically modified electrodes (CMEs) prepared by mixing cobalt phthalocyanine into carbon paste were shown to be able to carry out the electrocatalytic oxidation of nucleic acid species. the oxidation, which occurred at +0.4-0.5 V vs. Ag/AgC1 in 0.15 M NaOH, was observed only for ribose-containing compounds such as the ribonucleosides cytidine, uridine, adenosine, and guanine but not for deoxyribonucleosides such as thymidine or for the purine and pyrimidine bases by themselves. When used for electrochemical detection of the ribonucleosides following liquid chromatography, limits of detection were at the nmol level, with linear response extending at least two orders of magnitude higher. the stability of the CME response was such that 20-30 injections over one hour showed virtually no decrease in peak current and a relative standard deviation of only 2.5%. the detection limits seen with the CMEs were rougnly comparable to those seen for absorption detection at 280 nm, but the selectivity of the CMEs was much narrower in practice.     

Electrochemical Behavior of Hydroquinone at Poly (Acridine Orange)–Modified Electrode and Its Separate Detection in the Presence of o‐Hydroquinone and m‐Hydroquinone

Abstract

Poly (acridine orange) (PAO) film–modified electrode was prepared by the electrooxidation of Acridine orange on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the detection of hydroquinone in the presence of o‐hydroquinone and m‐hydroquinone. The electrochemical behavior of hydroquinone on the modified electrode was investigated with respect to different solution acidity, scan rate, and accumulation time. A pair of sharp and well‐defined peaks was obtained at 0.45 and 0.42 V [vs. a saturated calomel electrode (SCE)] at the PAO film–modified electrode. The potential difference between this pair of cathodic and anodic peaks was decreased to only 30 mV as compared to the 241 mV that was obtained on the bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE). As to o‐hydroquinone and m‐hydroquinone, their corresponding oxidation peaks appeared at 0.55 V and 0.89 V (vs. SCE), respectively. The oxidation potential differences between these three isomers enabled the separate detection of hydroquinone. Under the optimum experimental situation, the oxidation peak current of hydroquinone was proportional to the concentration at the range of 6.8×10^?7–9.6×10^?5 M. The detection limit was been estimated as 3×10^?7 M with 130 s accumulation. This method was applied to the hydroquinone detection in tap water samples.

SPE-HPLC purification of endocrine-disrupting compounds from human serum for assessment of xenoestrogenic activity

Assessment of xenoestrogenic activity in human serum samples requires the removal of endogenous sex hormones to assure that the activity measured originates from xenobiotic compounds only. Serum samples representing high, medium and lower accumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were extracted using solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (NP-HPLC) for separation of POPs from endogenous hormones. The recovery of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners in spiked serum samples was up to 86 %, making the extraction method suitable for the study. MVLN cells, stably transfected with an estrogen receptor (ER) luciferase reporter vector (estrogen response element chemically activated luciferase expression, ERE-CALUX), were exposed to the reconstituted SPE-HPLC extracts for determination of the integrated estrogenic activity. The effects of PCBs were analyzed by direct in vitro exposure of PCBs (nos. 138, 153, 180) and by ex vivo analysis of SPE-HPLC extracts from serum spiked with the PCBs. Similar effects on ER transactivation were observed for the direct in vitro and the ex vivo analysis experiments. The ER transactivation responses determined for actual serum samples were in the linear range of the dose-response curve. 17β-Estradiol titrations showed that the xenoestrogenic effects were mediated via ER. Moreover, our SPE-HPLC-ERE-CALUX assay was demonstrated to elicit high interlaboratory correlation. In the present study the combination of SPE-HPLC purification and the ex vivo estrogenic responses measured by ERE-CALUX was validated and considered to be a valuable tool to assess the combined ER effect of lipophilic serum POPs where additive/synergistic and agonistic/antagonistic effects are integrated giving an overall estimate of exposure and bioactivity.

Chemically modified pencil electrodes for application in reagentless chronopotentiometric antioxidant activity measurement

Recently a novel chronopotentiometric method has been introduced that was found useful for assessing antioxidant activity. In our experiments, the performance of chemically modified working electrodes made of different pencil materials were tested in the novel method. Redox mediator film of Meldola Blue was formed on electrode surfaces. The stability of the film, the number of molecules structuring it has been studied. In antioxidant measurements, controlled potential oxidation of the mediator was made followed by recording the open cell potential in time. The initial slope of this was used as analytical signal. Results proved applicability of the pencil probes.
